OUR STORY
Born from a Passion for
Coffee
Tamp Station was founded in 2018 by a team of SCA-certified baristas who believed that world-class coffee education deserved a home in Biratnagar. We train baristas not just in technique, but in craft, precision, and a deep love for the bean.
Every student who graduates from Tamp Station carries with them not just a certificate, but a craft. We believe coffee is a language — and we teach people to speak it fluently.
